To convert into binary, you have to consider how the number can be decomposed into a sum of power of 2. You must start from the highest power of two lower than your number.

So take your number 6 in your first problem. 23=8 And so we must start at 22. We hence write 6 below:

6=1x22+1x21+0x20

You can read straight off this as 6 = 110 in binary
